Fanfare!
Taylor and Boody’s Op. 55 arrived on June 6, 2007 and was designed specifically for the newly renovated Marquand Chapel. The installation represented the culmination of a process begun eight years prior with the planning of the renovation of Sterling Divinity Quadrangle.
The organ was inaugurated with a festive series of events over the course of the 2007-2008 academic year.
